They took time to answer all of our questions, explain what they were doing, teach us some tips and tricks. The food was absolutely amazing. The overall experience was more than we expected, in a good way. We will absolutely have them back and will recommend them to everyone. Thank you all again for an amazing experience. read more

Super! For our group of 8 we had plenty of food, education and fun. We even earned about some of the Italian geography/culture. I think my kitchen is cleaner than when they came. Now we want to try all the various menus. Thanks so much for providing a unique gathering. read more

I cannot say enough about Cucinamore, LLC! If you're looking for a personal chef to prepare an amazing Italian meal, look no further than Daniela and Terri! They prepared the most delicious meal for my husband's surprise 50th birthday party. The service was like no other. For the 4 hours they were with us, they took us on a food tour of Italy, cooked, cleaned, left us with some wonderful memories and became part of our family. #simplythebest read more

I can't say enough about Chef Daniela and the amazing experience she brought into our home! Not only was her food absolutely delicious, but she is a kind and wonderful person who brings so much knowledge about the ingredients she uses in her Italian cooking to share with you and your guests. She is incredibly professional and creates an environment that puts everyone at ease. It was such a fun evening for all of us and I highly recommend Cucinamore!! read more

Daniela and Teri were awesome! They made everything from scratch and Chef Daniela even took the time to explain the origins of some of the dishes. The icing on the cake was when my VERY picky daughter took a bite and yelled that it was so delicious! Definitely worth every penny. Way better than going to a restraunt. read more

Daniela and Terri were absolutely amazing! They were so informative and kept us engaged throughout the entire experience.

Love love LOVE this concept! Daniela and her partner came in, re-cleaned my kitchen, then went to work! We got little tid bits of info on ingredients and Italy with every course. There was sooo much leftover. It was such a nice relaxing night in and a great alternative to going out to dinner. We had two couples this time... would love to get a bigger group together and make a big night of it! And when they left, my kitchen was spotless like no one had been here. There was plenty of food, we're still eating leftovers! Can't wait for my next party. read more

Wonderful time with Daniela and Terri! The entire experience was special and worthwhile, with a gourmet meal expertly prepared and served along with knowledgeable and personal anecdotes. Daniela and Terri are extremely organized, and they left our kitchen spotless. read more

What an amazing evening !!! I had purchased a gift certificate as a present for my wife and made reservations for the evening of November 13th. Daniela is outstanding Italian chef with a great personality. She is very talkative, informative and accommodating. The appetizers and entree were absolutely amazing! It's been two weeks ago and people are still talking about the dinner. I highly recommend her for a fun filled delicious dinner. read more

Our 3rd dining experience with Daniela and Terri and the duo never disappoint! Food was fantastic, both ladies very professional and knowledgeable of great Italian cuisine. So fun having these ladies bring a taste of Italy into our home. Highly recommend Cucinamore!! read more

We hosted a pasta party at our home last night! Daniela was so easy to work with and she made the process so simple and enjoyable! She is a professional in every way. She is very knowledgeable about Italian food and helped to show us ways to use healthier ingredients from the store to make our own dishes better. She has a natural love of food which comes thru in her cooking so you can rest assured you are getting 5 star quality food. It rivaled anything you can get at any Italian restaurant in the area by a mile. The food is delicious and everyone was going for seconds and thirds! There was plenty of food for 7 of us and we even had enough to give some doggy bags to our guests. Overall a very pleasurable experience! read more

Daniela and Terry of Cucinamore made an incredible dinner for us this weekend. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary and wanted to something different and special for the occasion. This was perfect. They come to your house with all ingredients and cookware and prepare a fabulous meal in your kitchen right in front of your eyes! The food was amazing! Loved hearing Daniela explain everything about the meal. I highly recommend them. read more

Last weekend my fiancé and I hosted a couples cooking party. We invited 5 other couples and everyone had a great time. From planning to clean up Daniela is a true professional and great cook. For those not familiar with the process you can start planning your menu on the Cucinamore website where Daniela has some suggestions. She is very flexible and will work with you if you'd like customize the meal. There is a price per person based on the menu selected. Daniela arrives at your home a little before guests arrive with all the ingredients, pots/pans and the recipes to share. When guests arrive she will begin to cook and the guests can be as little or as much involved as they'd like. The food is served family style as it is ready. We made crostini Gorgonzola, shrimp and asparagus risotto and a chicken scaloppine. There was literally not a morsel of food left. After the last entree Daniela cleaned her pots/pans and left. As the host all you need to do is provide drinks, dessert and plates/utensils. Daniela is from Italy and very pleasant to interact with. Everyone really enjoyed watching her cook and eating the food. I do not believe you could go out to a restaurant and spend less eating a comparable 3 course meal. I would highly recommend Cucinamore. It was a unique and memorable experience. read more

I hosted a Cucinamore party at my home last weekend for a "Girl's night in". I selected a pasta making party, where Daniela showed us how to make pasta from scratch. My friends had so much fun! Dani has a way of explaining her cooking techniques that makes easy sense, and I feel confident I can replicate what we learned on my own. She shared several tips/tricks that we found very useful. Everything we made was delicious! She brought everything with her (pots, pans, tools, ingredients). After everyone left, I realized my kitchen was clean and I didn't have any post-party cleanup, which was wonderful (and a rare treat after a party at my house)! The evening was filled with lots of laughs and delicious pasta. She even emailed us all the recipes the next day. This was my second Cucinamore party; the first party I attended as a guest (of course, it was so much fun I had to have my own). Thank you for a great party! read more

Daniela and Terri prepared a fabulous dinner for 20 guest at my husband's birthday party. Everything from start to finish was outstanding. I didn't have to do anything, they did it all and even boxed up the leftovers for guest to continue to snack late into the night. I highly recommend them, it was a very fun experience! read more

I have attended two Cucinamore cooking parties and absolutely love them! I cook quite a bit in my home for my family of 5, but after learning from Daniela some really super tips, I feel even more confident in the kitchen! Whether it's learning how to properly use saffron, or that making homemade pasta is actually simple, or just discovering how to chop vegetables with the least amount of effort and mess, I have taken away so much from these parties! Oh! AND, I learned how to properly reduce wine when used with cooking! The interaction is SO fun also! As an attendee, you can choose to engage and help prepare, or mingle and chat with other guests. There isn't a "best part" of the evening, but the most delicious moment is definitely sitting down with your friends at the end, and enjoying the amazing food that has just been prepared! read more

I used Daniella Williams company Cucinamore for an office Christmas party because an employee had raved about Cucinamore service and food. Believe me this company will not disappoint. We all expect fabulous food, but Daniella's company also gave me ease of business. I did not raise a finger or waste any of my time preparing for this party. It was incredibly reasonably priced, and she made it so easy to choose a menu, schedule and pay. You're going to LOVE her and her service, everyone does! read more

Daniela and Terri are a wonderful and talented team! They prepared a delicious meal for us and worked so efficiently together. The food was fantastic, we had a great time, and our kitchen was cleaner when they were finished than it probably has ever been. I highly recommend Cucinamore for a delicious and different dining experience! read more

Simply cannot say how fun it was to have Daniela and Terri of Cucinamore to our home for a fun night of Italian cuisine! The food was absolutely delicious! And Daniela and Terri are just lovely! An added bonus: it was so nice to just get my house ready for a party and not have to be consumed in the kitchen! If you are looking for a fun thing to do for a gathering, this is it!! read more

We celebrated my bridal shower with one of Cucinamore's cooking demonstrations. It was a great time! The food was amazing and we definitely learned some things we could use at home. This was the perfect shower but it would also be fun for a few couples to get together. Daniela is funny and really good at explaining the steps she's taking while cooking. We really enjoyed the afternoon! read more

Last weekend, we hired Cucinamore, LLC to throw a dinner party with friends. It was such a unique idea, which I heard about when the host/chef did a similar party as a private event at a winery. We were so impressed, that we scooped her up to come out to one of the couple's houses and teach us how to cook real Italian food. There were 4 couples, and plenty of instruction, chit chat and yummy food to go around. Dani is very engaging, witty and of course a great cook! She entertained us, and gave us plenty of ideas of how to change or expand the recipes she was teaching us. We made 3 courses- an appetizer, pasta course (homemade, yum!) and finally a meat course, which in our case was shrimp. We had a blast and definitely learned about cooking, while catching up with friends we don't get to see all the time. If you're looking for a fun dinner party idea that gets people up and involved, this is it. Between us we helped roll out pasta, prep the various ingredients, taste test and all around have a blast. It's not a full meal, but we left full, so it's a good deal and a good value, and I already can't wait to do it again!! read more
